Have you decided the allure of a warm, toasty fire is something you can no longer resist? Is the purchase of a fireplace in your future? There are many options depending on your needs, where you plan on installing the fireplace, and your budget. Below are some things to think about and consider.
Fireplace inserts are steel or cast iron fireboxes that are fitted directly into your original fireplace. Fronted by self-cleaning safety glass, fireplace inserts draw and exhaust heat and fumes through the original chimney or via a pipe directly vented through an exterior wall. Fireplace inserts are safer and more efficient than traditional fireplaces because combustible air is drawn into the firebox through one pipe, and toxic fumes are vented back outside through another. The resulting heat is forced back into the room�sans toxic fumes�via vents in the front, creating a more efficient heating system.What is a Fireplace Insert, Anyway?A few other considerations with vent-free fireplaces: they can cause excessive moisture; there may be a noticeable smell from the fireplace; and levels are low enough to not be considered dangerous to people who are healthy.Generally, with some exceptions, a consumer is considered a member of the Settlement Class and is eligible to file a claim for benefits if he or she is a resident of the US (including California), who owns a home or other residential property that was purchased for personal, family, or household purposes, and whose home has one or more Superior or Lennox brand single-pane sealed glass front gas fireplaces installed between February 6, 2004 and January 11, 2011. Also included are residents of California who own a home or other residential property for personal, family, or household purposes, and whose home has one or more Superior single-pane sealed glass front gas fireplaces that were installed between March 1, 2003 and February 5, 2004.4) Another fireplace option is an electric fireplace. The electric fireplaces today are efficient and fairly inexpensive to operate. An electric fireplace is pretty much a �plug and go� item. You take it home, plug it in, and enjoy it. An electric fireplace will generate some heat but is not intended to be used as the primary source of heat in a room.The legal rights of Settlement Class members will be affected regardless of whether they take any action. Settlement Class members that do nothing will stay in the Class, will not get any benefits, and will give up their right to sue the Defendants for the claims being resolved by this Settlement. Settlement Class members that want to keep their right to sue the Defendants about the claims in this case must exclude themselves from the Settlement by no later than May 2, 2011. Those wishing to stay in the Settlement Class may object to the Settlement no later than May 2, 2011. Those wishing to stay in the Settlement Class and obtain benefits must submit claim forms no later than August 1, 2011 or 60 days after the final approval hearing, whichever comes later.Have plenty of time for maintenance? No time at all? Want ambiance, not heat? Ask yourself these and other questions before deciding on which fireplace insert to install. Then talk to the fireplace insert specialists at Brick-Anew to help determine the fireplace insert that fits your maintenance level, style, heat output needs and fuel availability. Complete your new fireplace insert with Brick-Anew�s fireplace screens, tools and accessories, and even give your existing masonry a total makeover with Brick-Anew�s patent-pending brick remodeling system. Then lie back in front of your roaring fire and say, �Now that�s a fireplace.�More details about the Settlement and how to file a claim are available at www.LennoxHearthClass.com or by calling 1-877-896-4837.
A fireplace can be a wonderful addition to a home. I have a gas fireplace. It�s great to be able to turn on the fireplace on cold evenings and enjoy the coziness and warmth it provides. One of my friends has a wood-burning fireplace. They enjoy their fireplace as much as I enjoy mine.
